Subject: [ruby-core:84242] [Ruby trunk Feature#12275] String unescape

Issue #12275 has been updated by tad (Tadashi Saito).

File v3.patch added

Thanks to shyouhei, mame, and especially naruse, I was able to brush up the patch.
v3.patch is attached.  Improvements are diverse.

Spec change:

* use RuntimeError instead of ArgumentError for invalid formed (self) string
  * no arguments are given for this method... :(
* explicitly reject string that contains:
  * non-ascii character
  * NUL `\0` character
  * (note that `dump`ed strings do not contain above)

Bug fix:

* reject string that contains double quote in double quotes, like `'""""'`
* prevent compiler's warnings/errors
  * cast explicitly from unsigned long to int
  * remove needless "const"

Misc:

* fix styles
* add more tests for invalid escaping
* remove needless logic
* adjust unescaped expression to parse.y

I'll take a short nap while praying so that AFL will not catch the worm...

Feature #12275: String unescape

----------------------------------------
I think it will be usefull to have function that convert input string as it was written in prime qouted string or in double qouted string. It's part of metaprogramming.
Example:

~~~ ruby
class String
  # Create new string like it will be writed in qoutes. Optional argument define type of qouting used: true - prime qoute, false - double qoute. Default is double qoute.
  def unescape prime = false
    eval( prime ? "'#{self}'" : "\"#{self}\"" )
  end
end

"\\\t".unescape # => "\t"
~~~
